IAA Severo Ochoa Meeting: Addressing key astrophysical questions from Granada

THE MEETING

THE MEETING

The “IAA Severo Ochoa Meeting: Addressing Key Astrophysical Questions from Granada”  will be held in Granada, from Tuesday October 18th, to Friday, October 21st, 2022. 

Our Severo Ochoa IAA Colloquium programme, was implemented in 2019 to allow senior staff from top level institutions to visit IAA to impart talks and work hands-on with our staff. It was timely transformed into web-loquia to circumvent the impossibility/difficulty for travelling due to Covid-19Due to COVID pandemics, and hence the online format was the rule. Being aware of the importance of interactions beyond the screen, we organise this 4-day meeting, where we plan to gather our web-loquium speakers and other internationally renowned researchers, with the aim of promoting the discussion with IAA scientists.

 

The *morning sessions* will have around 4 keynote speakers each, and will be devoted to the topics:

 

  • Day 1. Towards the understanding of planetary systems

  • Day 2. Star formation in the Milky Way ond the local universe

  • Day 3. Galaxy Formation and Evolution

  • Day 4. State-of-the-art instrumentation and methodologies

 

The *afternoon sessions* will be devoted to discussions and in-depth interactions between the invited researchers and the IAA scientific staff. They will follow up the morning sessions with the aim to identify the related outstanding questions that can be tackled collaboratively with the IAA commnuity in the coming years.
